Even a broken watch tells the right time twice a day.

All of BP's many failed early draft selections say hi as well.

Rolling, just guessing but are you holding off on buying a digital watch to see if they catch on?

    Just sayin.

    True, his strike rate was amazing though, wasn't it.

    The place is buzzing and we’re on the cusp of something special 

    You would have to be from another planet to want to leave this club.

    We got better as soon as he went forward 

    he takes grabs and rarely misses

     

    Haven't lost since he came back.

    Brilliant news.

     

    His last contract, he would only sign for two years, he wants success and he wanted to see the direction we were headed in, signing for four years is a massive endorsement of both Goodwin and the direction the club is heading

    On a side note, in this article Tom says he is over his foot injury https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/tom-mcdonald-commits-to-melbourne-20180605-p4zjie.html

    "...What also has McDonald happy is that he has found comfort with his footy boots, revealing the foot problem which had him in doubt for the clash against the Crows was a result of experimenting with the positioning of the studs on his boots......I got a bit sore with it. Since then, I have felt pretty good with it," he said.

    Good to hear he can play relatively pain free.

    Who was it posted after the Bulldogs game he was still in trouble with his foot?

    just watched tom in his media conference. he speaks very well and intelligently.

    he won't be, but i could easily picture him as a captain. maybe the club could use him more in the way jw was used.

    Now THIS I have no trouble with in regards to the club advertising it.

    Tommy Mc would definitely have many a suitor should he begin to equivocate over his contract status. The fact he didn't even look anywhere else is a big tick for the club.

    Tommy having signed on for four more years. Doctor Who getting permanently banned. This is turning out to be quite a pleasant day!

    Well this is news... when did this great bit of admin happen?

    The strong bond between the senior players is obvious and reflected in unselfish, ego-free play. I’d be shocked if we lost any required players over the next 2-3 years.

    I remember when he first went forward and i thought, oh dear....clutching at straws here, i didnt think he could kick straight. Wow talk about an elite forward. Just gets better.

    I guess having signed,  the next  big question is in what kind of pay bracket did he do it for. hopefully in a deal that gave us some room to target Gaff or Wines.

    I heard something on SEN, they said it was an absolute bargain. Was it around the 650-700K mark?

    Such amazing news to wake up to in Lisbon this morning. Great result. 

    Nev and Omac I assume are regulation signings now. Brayshaw probably will sign soon too. 

    Wouldn’t it be awesome to get Jesse to sign an extension before the year is over? A flag might help this.

    Seriously though, I'm pumped with this news. Could easily have fielded offers and watched his price go through the roof. How much would he have been worth on the open market? If his form held out, he would be looking at Million dollar P.A. offers from several clubs I reckon. 

    Obviously, our offer was good enough for his commitment for the next 4 years. Im still super confident we will have a big pot of cash to throw at free/restricted agents at years end, and each win pushes down the price good players will accept to come to us. Success breeds success, and right now we are like a supermodels younger sister. Looking more attractive each day.

    Thanks for signing Plugger.

    Great news! i used to hate this guy in the past as a backman with his poor foot skills and decision making, now I love him as a forward for his straight kicking. I love the turn around! 

    It makes me wonder why he wasn't trialled as a forward earlier in his career. He was a forward as a junior, and whether we needed key position defender is irrelevant when he is a lot better as a forward. 

    Last week at the dogs game, I noticed Oscar Mcdonald having shots for goal and he was slotting them beautifully with great technique. I wonder whether he could go forward in the same manner. On the other side, I wonder if Weideman could play back. He has the speed  and aerial prowess but he wouldn't need to mark it. Simply bring it to ground. Food for thought. 

    That’s interesting ... Perhaps Weideman could be a Lever style intercept defender .. He looks the part actually !

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
